Any idea on how to kill fungus gnats in an organic - semi perpetual grow? Have sticky fly tape and diy yellow traps, getting yellow traps from Amazon. I want them dead though. There's not loads but there will be if I don't do them all in and am not sure what to put on organic matter that I'm going to eat. Is it better to just scrap the grow and re clean everything or is this a battle I could win?

Order some predator bugs man..that's all I've ever used and they work every time!
You could get some Nematodes, Hypoaspis miles or/and Macrocheles robustulus.

Could I use house spiders - I've got loads right now.

What you want are nematodes.
You can order them on Amazon!
They show up, mix in water and water into your plants. They work... 48 hrs later, the #s will crash.
Just went thru a gnat issue about a month ago. Nematodes flat out work.

Had some a couple weeks back. Removed the top inch of two of the soil to get rid of fungus that they eat and any eggs. Replaced it with dry topping and then for the next couple of waters I just moved aside the top layer and watered so the top remained dry. They disappeared quickly as there was no food left for them to eat.

Brilliant! This is something I can do right now, thanks bro - quality words. Nice one.
Mosquito dunks look good, will the Nematodes live through the dunk use? I think this is good comprehensive plan of attack - totally doing it. Thank you.Nematodes or sticky traps & mosquito dunks

They should? The gnats I had ate the mosquito dunks and wanted more... they were vicious. 2 weeks later, completely gone. Forever sold on nematodes for gnats.
